My wife's favorite wine stop of what seems hundreds of wine stops on 99W. I also might add the best low stress patio set up to enjoy your wine. Great staff, awesome line up, even better prices. Buy a case for the cost of a few bottles at other Yamhill county wineries without missing a drop of quality. A must stop for tasting wine down 99W. Worth note. They had (which they just informed me today they are out of it) the greatest port I had ever had. Supposedly another one is in the works. If there ask for a taste of port. read more

We stopped by here Thursday Sept. 4th. with the hounds in tow, since their outdoor seating is dog friendly. As usual, the service was quick, the staff were knowledgeable and friendly, and the wines were inexpensive and very tasty The grounds around the outdoor seating area are nicely landscaped (in the early summer the wisteria among the arbors are gorgeous). It's a nice winery to pop in and have a glass of wine on the patio, or try a flight and see what you like. They have a great selection, your bound to find a varietal you like! read more

My friend and I recently went to a pick up party for the wine club and stayed for the $50 a plate sit-down dinner. Duck Pond should not have attempted to do both events in one day as it was a complete bust. The food at the pick up party was marginal, some sliced salami, two different cheeses with flies feasting on them, an empty bowl of bread and a small bowl of olives. There were only two people pouring wine so the line for the red wine was a block long, and no line for the white but the woman serving white would not help out, weird. No one was smiling! I never did get wine at the pick up party. When dinner rolled around, we were served plain lettuce as a salad, not even a tomato, (this is tomato season), Pork loin which was delicious but the meat was served 20 min before the vegetables came, who does that? I filled up on meat because it appeared that was going to be it. The vegi's were beautiful but arrived far too late to enjoy with the main course.... So, we paid $50 for pork loin, lettuce and two glasses of wine... I think that would run about $34 at a 5 star restaurant with excellent service, I might add. The staff was grouchy and gave horrible service by the time dinner rolled around. They were serving our meal from cardboard boxes and half the guests were sitting in the direct sun with no shade so they carried their own dinners across the lawn to the deck in the shade. The worst part.... they did't serve wine with dinner. I've never been to a winery dinner that didn't pair wine with the meal.... We were given tokens for two glasses of wine which were served well before dinner was served, no wine glasses at the dinner table and if we wanted wine we had to walk back to the winery and buy a bottle then drink out of a dirty glass. So tacky.... I belong to two other wine clubs in the area and I have to admit I was quite disappointed with Duck Pond, (although I do really enjoy a couple of their wines, the Syrah in particular). I'll continue with the club as I do like their wine and the price is right but no more dinners and I know now what to expect when I pick up my wine so I won't be disappointed next time. read more

I went here with a friend for my birthday in October, and had a fabulous experience! Both of us are in the food/wine service industry and were very impressed with the knowledge and friendliness of the staff at Duck Pond. Paul was a blast, and really does his job well. Plus the atmosphere and building are breathtakingly beautiful! I can't imagine how it looks in summer read more

Duck Pond Cellars - Duck Pond Cellars. Just gorgeous from beginning to end - Wineries Near Me - Dundee, Oregon

The 2009 Pinot Noir is amazing! Definitely worth the drive! The view is great and there are a lot of great spaces to relax and enjoy a glass of wine. Great service. We had a wonderful experience. read more

Really good wines and a great tasting room! Paul was fun, knowledgeable and made sure we were well taken care of as we enjoyed the sunshine, flowers and delicious Oregon cheese board! I can't wait to go back over and over again to introduce more people to Paul and Duck Pond! read more

Paul was incredibly knowledgeable about the wine flights and was more than happy to answer other wine related questions. After my time sampling the wines I explored outside to find fun games to play and live music! I will definitely be going back. read more

I have to give a shout out to Tamara C. After talking to her we decided to give DP a chance. Not that their wines are bad, but I have had them before and I can buy them at any grocery store, however the experience was really fun. Indeed they have a complimentary tasting and if you want to do the reserved ones it is only an additional $5 to include those. The employees are super friendly, which makes any visit so much more enjoyable. The cute store was full of wine gadgets, of course I had to get one. I got a quail pourer. A little steep at $24, but we have quails hanging in our back yard all the time. They also have some jams, mustards and chocolate dips. The patio in front is very nice, and they seem to have events every so often. We were a day late for some pizza/flatbread event. On a sunny day, hanging out here could be fun and cheap. I ended up buying a bottle, just because they were so nice. I am sure I could have gotten it at Safeway at the same or cheaper, but the experience was fun. read more

We first experienced Duck Pond at Sip McMinnville. This was the first time we visited their tasting room, and it was a lovely afternoon. We loved a lot of the wines we tasted & ended up purchasing a few different whites & reds. My favorites were the Pinot Noir and the Mingle. read more

Our company provides wine tours and Duck Pond always delivers! The staff is wonderful and the atmosphere is comfortable. The abundance of flowers in the courtyard are beautiful. I enjoy their wine and have started collecting their oils and spices. Great place to taste wine or just enjoy a glass! read more

After reading reviews I opted not to go to Duck Pond Cellars on our recent tour of the Willamette Valley; however when we were stuck in traffic off the 99W, Duck Pond was there, so we thought we'd stop in to 'wait out the traffic'. The wine consultant seemed a bit disinterested in serving us; but we kept an 'open mind'. Their wines were not terrible but the price point lead me to believe this is a wine for those who prefer light, watery wines, not the bold red as we generally prefer. After tasting at 23 wineries, Duck Pond was my least favorite wine. But it's a good 'entry level' wine. read more

See all

I took a group of Linfield Mothers and Daughters on a wine tasting tour last weekend. The tasting room manager was very helpful in putting together a tour and tasting schedule with short notice. The wines were excellent and the tour very informing. All for $5 each and got to keep the glasses! I would recommend this venue to anyone wanting a special event. Each of the 13 people that came with us had nothing but rave comments on the way home. We stopped at other wineries and received less for much more money. read more

Such a nice place with an amazing staff! Stumbled upon this place while driving to my cousin's graduation. Will definitely make another visit when I'm back in Oregon. read more

Awesome place. Really enjoyed the wines and the staff at DPC. So glad to find this winery after being disappointed at Archery Summit with high priced snobby atmosphere. Duck Pond had great cheese, meat, nut and olive plate which was fantastic. The Wine was priced fairly. Loved this place and will come back! read more

I just want to say out of all the wineries near and in Dundee, duck pond out shines all of them because of their employee Stephanie, she was amazing and because of her service and hospitality we will be coming back time and time again. Thank you sooooooooo much Stephanie!!! We love you and thank you so much for making us feel welcome! We appreciate everything! read more

Just can't get enough of this place! Beautiful scenery with a great space to relax and have a glass of wine. The staff is always super friendly and knowledgeable of the wines they are serving. Wine club is a great deal, other places charge a monthly or yearly fee but not here, you pay for your wine and that's that! I highly recommend to stop in and try a flight! read more

I love this place. Paul in the tasting room knew a lot about the production of wine and took great care of us (find him while you're there!). The outdoor space is beautiful and the wines are fantastic. Some of the best Pinor Noir around. read more

Great wine and fantastic location, add this to your plan when wine tasting in this region!

My husband and I stopped by and went into your tasting room and we really love it. The people are nice a friendly. We ordered a cheese and meat plate it was a lot could not even eat it all and we shared. We also buy your wine at our local store. We will be back for sure. read more

Hopping place right off the main drag. Nice wines and very friendly staff. Nice gift shop. My favorite wine I couldn't buy because I was not a club member, but the nice couple next to me at the tasting bar bought it for me because they belonged and the staff just turned a kindly blind eye. I'm not sure why they offered it in their tasting menu if it wasn't for sale. I recommend Duck Pond as one of your stops. read more

Best stop in the area! After stopping all over the place and being mostly disappointed (particularly the crows and the cost just to taste), I decided to consult Yelp and found Duck Pond. Our hostess was fabulous and really made the tasting experience a good one. I felt like I was enjoying some nice wine at my favorite aunt's house or something. Skip all the nonsense in the area and come here if you actually want to do some tasting sans all the frivolous bs. read more

This is a great winery! I started at this winery and tried their second flight. The hostess was very welcoming an kind. Great atmosphere and affordable wine. One of my favorite wines from this place is the Malbec. It's not sweet, earthy, velvety and you can really taste the French and American oak. This was mellow flavored and a great red if you are more of a white wine drinker like I am. Duck pond also had other delicious flavorful wines. The service was also great! I will be coming back to this winery! read more

Great atmosphere, semi-knowledgable staff, horrible wines. Out of 15 tastings only 2 were drinkable. If you like cheese Duck Pond has a very cheap plate. Won't be going back... read more

Stopped in for a taste and everything was "ok" at best. The per bottle pricing is a little expensive compared to other stops along our adventure where we did experience the wow factor from those sampling's ... unfortunately, we didn't buy anything here but the property is beautiful and the staff is very friendly. Cheers! read more

One of the best wineries in the Willamette valley. Paul was taking care of us while we were on the property for tasting. My wife and I really appreciated his knowledge of the wines and overall did an outstanding job of shuffling crowds of people during a busier time. Duck pond has a very nice facility, as you can see it from hwy 99. The wines are very good for being a reasonably low price. I would also add that the meat and cheese platter is very well paired with the tasting flights! read more

I attend the winery for a tasting with my family last week. We got several different tastes, a tour through various parts of the winery, and overall had outstanding service. They also provided a delish assortment of bread, crackers, and cheese. Everybody was very laid-back and approachable, much different that the other winery we visited that day. read more

Amanda was incredible! We spent the morning with her touring and enjoying the perfectly paired tasting room while enjoying Amanda's company and knowledge of the winery. The wine was delicious and the experience was a blast. read more

We had such an amazing tasting/tour with Amanda. She was informative, friendly and fun! Thanks for giving us such a great experience! Cheers! read more

It use to be so much better, but lately the staff has an attitude with every guest, but the wine is still very nice! some of my favs are Desert Winds/Duck Pond.... but its losing its luster! read more

If I could give 0 stars I would. Walked in for some wine tasting, not one greeting from the Two ladies working there. Not very hospitable. We left and went down the road to Four Graces. Two totally different experiences. Pass Duck Pond and go straight to Four Graces. read more

We just love this place. The folks are all super led by Amanda and staff. They are friendly and helpful. They serve great wine!! We are so happy to be members there. Thank you Amanda for the great tour!! read more

Great service! The price point of their wines are very affordable. Nice property but no view like some of the others around.

A friend was visiting from out of town and we dedcided to spend our afternoon sampling wines in Dundee. We knew that there were many great wineries in the area, but we didn't know much more than that! Our first stop was at Duck Pond. Not only was the staff in the tasting room knowledgeable, they went out of their way to ensure that we were satisfied and our quesitons were answered. The tasting menu offered a nice variety of wines, but we were also asked if we had any favorites that were not currently offered. When I let our hostess know that I really enjoyed a Sangiovese, she opened a bottle on the spot! When we asked for recommendations about what other wineries we should visit while in the area, they were happy to talk about their favorites...and made a couple of great lunch suggestions as well. Thank you Duck Pond for kicking off a fabulous day in Oregon wine country! read more

Well done. I used the yelp provided voucher $20 for $10, and purchased some very nice wines, at very affordable prices. The tasting room staff was extremely helpful and friendly-again well done! read more

Duck Pond is legit. If you are looking for good, reasonably priced wine without the pretension, this is your place. We went to a couple of the higher end tasting rooms in Newberg, and though the wine was good, the tastings were pricey. I am used to going tasting in Napa where you don't pay that much for a tasting and they are more generous with the pours. We had a great time, our host was lovely and let us sample the wines at our pace and also gave us time to chat with each other, which was nice. She also was really sweet when my husband mixed up Syrah and Shiraz, she corrected him and let him know about the difference without a hint of condescension. We had the complementary tasting and the red tasting, both were great. Then they have a cute little couch area in the back that they will let you take your own bottle to so we got to hang out and relax and enjoy more of their wine. The winter was the perfect time to go as we were the only ones tasting at the time. We will be back for sure! read more

Came in for a tasting and left with a membership. Fell in love with the Jory Cuvee and the Dundee Hills Reserve. The girls behind the counter were PHENOMENAL. Personable, knowledgeable, and very welcoming. When we got back to Chicago, we had a personally written note waiting for us--nice touch! We look forward to our next visit out to the PNW so we can stop back by! read more

We loved Duck Pond Cellars. We enjoyed a bottle of their Pinot while we had lunch outside. The staff was friendly and inviting. I really liked their Syrah! read more

We went on a girls wine country trip and ended up at Duck Pond during Dundee traffic. We were super impressed with the amount of pours (7) for only $5! Bottles were also very reasonably priced from $12-18. Like most tasting rooms, they waive the tasting fee if you purchase, so at the end of the day, a $12 Syrah with a "free" 7 glass pour is a pretty good deal! I liked the wines, my friend thought they were so-so. We also had a nice chat with the pourer Melissa. read more

Duck Pond is a cute little place. The prices are beyond reasonable. While visiting Oregon we hit several of the big wineries: Erath, Penner Ash, Van Duzer, Benton Lane... ect. We saw Duck Pond on the map and decided to stop in and check them out, as we had never had their wine before. It is on the more mass produced side and not as complex as some of the other wineries we have been to. I am a little bit of a cork nerd, but by no means am I a wine snob. In a blind tasting I once saw a $5 bottle beat out several $100- $300 bottles. Everything has it's place, and Duck Pond makes very drinkable, everyday wine. They don't pretend to be anything that they are not. I enjoyed my tasting thought their bottles would be in the $20- $30 range and was pleasently surprised to find them in the $12- $20 range, plus we got a 25% off discount for checking in on yelp (can you say a bottle under $10!). We bought several bottles to take to a family function to accompany some more expensive offerings. The young lady who was pouring at our tasting was lovely. She was plesant and very helpful. read more

My wife and I booked a VIP Tour($20 each) it included the tour, tasting(6 or 7 wines), an appetizer plate, and two keepsake glasses. Our tour guide(Stephanie) was GREAT! I think she made the tour as good as it was! Very down to earth and knowledgeable. The grounds and tasting room were nice. read more
